What is NCover Desktop?

Code Coverage

NCover Desktop is a major leap forward in the ease and flexibility of code
coverage tools. Code coverage, gathered while testing your .NET
code, shows the NCover user what code was exercised during the test and gives a
specific measurement of unit test coverage. By tracking these statistics over
time, you gain a concrete measurement of code quality during the development
cycle. The core of the NCover application is a Windows Service which starts
automatically and runs continuously in the background of your OS (Windows XP and
higher). NCover can monitor .NET version 2.0 and higher applications and
Silverlight 4.0 and higher.

Visual Studio Integration

During the NCover Desktop install, you'll have the option of including the Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012 extensions.

The NCover Bolt VS extension is a multi-platform .NET test runner that works with both MSTest and NUnit tests. Bolt offers built-in code coverage that displays unit test results, timings, branch visualization and source code highlighting right in the Visual Studio IDE.
